Creator's Key Takeaways

I've never been to a cruise terminal it's just me turning up for silver sea and there'd be no one around but we did later find whether people were but they still weren't that many there were only around 500 of us in total this is insane

we were checking in in Venice Cruise terminal but the ship itself was in fusina so um they checked us in in the terminal and then Busters and the coach out to facina it was so about 20 minute drive it wasn't far away at all

we booked a guarantee Vista switch which is the only Suites on here there's about six of them that just have a window not a balcony because you know it's expensive so obviously and yeah we've been upgraded to the top um level of the more basic Suites they're not basic you know they're beautiful

I have paid for this cruise I've worked hard I'm paid for this um so obviously have not given me anything for this this is me okay yeah sorry for my little wine there but it's a bit annoying when the same two people constantly moan that free cruises when I don't I pay for all my cruises

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a guarantee cabin for potential upgrades
Use the ship's app for check-in and information

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

This video was made by No Cruise Control (Lois Payne). In October 2022, I embarked Silver Dawn, Silversea's newest Ship for a trip from Fusina, near Venice in Italy. I cruised with my husband around the Adriatic Sea to Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Slovenia and Italy. Silversea is an Ultra Luxury Cruise Line, so it goes without saying it was an expensive cruise, we booked it for our tenth wedding anniversary!
